Mr.. Daggy's Reply to "Leatier" Jewett.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal
Please permit me space in your paper to reply
to the charge of ''willful perjury"
Newspaper notoriaty and controversy are very
unpleasant. and are unsought by me; but can
not. in justice to myself ana will not rest or re-
main quiet under the question of privilege re-
marks of Representative Jewett in the House,
as reported in the Journal of this morning
March 5, 1887, under the head of 1.-The Assem-
bly's Last DAYS." wherein ne ALLEGES that
committed willfui perjury" etc. | did not use
the language therein reported; and if Mr.. Jewett
is correctly reported. then l do say he knowing
w. purposely and malicionslv misrepresented
my testimony before the House committee on
elections and he did it for the evident purpose
of breaking the force of the testimony against
himself
And again assert and affirm that my testi-
mony before the committee. as reported in the
Journal of Friday, March 4, 1S87-under the
head of Tempting Robinson" is substaan TALLY
correst and true. And | consider the reply OF
Representative Robinson, to Mr. Jewett at the
time, as / understood it, to be independent and
manly. which in substance was that he did no,
want his money, that it was no temptation
that he was acting from principle, and
that it would be as consistent, OF
more SO. for the Democrats to vote
for our man. than for Mr. Robinson
to vote for your MAN. Ny impression at thu
time was, and l have reason for thinking
otherwise now, that if Mr.. Jewett had laboree
under less excitement he would not have mad,
use of such language, but that excitement may
possibly account for the now apparent shortnes
of his memory. / deem further comment or ex

HE WAS NOT ORTHODOX,

And Hence the Chicago Congregationaiists
Decline to Send Resolutions of Coincidence.
CHICAGO. March IAN extraordinary scene
took place at the weekly meeting of the Congre-
gational ministers this morning. A topic which
came up was the sickness from which Henry
Ward Beecher is believed to be dying, and the
statement Of some Of the pastors present took
the shape of resolutions of coincidence which it
was proposed to send Mrs. Beecher by telegraph
This was opposed by number of the ministers,
their opposition being based on the alleged heter
odoxy of Mr.. Beecher's views regarding future
salvation and punishment An acrimonious de-
bate ensued, and finally the motion to ADOPT the
resolutions lost. Great excitement pre-
vailed, and the utmost efforts were made to keep
the affair from the newspapers.
The resolutions were offered by Rev. E. F.
Williams, of South Church. The principal
ground for opposition was Mr. Beechers vie VS.
or the future state. and DR.. E. P. Goodwin,
among others, contended that if the meeting. as
a body. sent resolutions of coincidence to the dy
ing preacher their action might be construed into
an expression of opinion favorable to his theo-
logical sentiments. This was not the only attack
made however. One minister arose and stated
that he would not extend sympathy to man
who was charged with immortality and had never
cleared himself of the charge
The friends Of Mr. Beecher holly attacked the
speaker who had alluded to the scandal The
resolution, when put to an informal vote. re-
proposer, who asserted that it would be in bad
taste to send resolutions that were not unani-
nous.
The Rev. E. P. Goodwin, who opposed the
resolutions, refused to make public his reasons,
further than that he did not coincide with Mr.
Beecher matters of theology. SIT won't do
to make this matter public" Mr. Goodwin said.
II wish the resolutions had never been offered,
or that had not been there; but once they were
proposed, and was present it was my duty to
speak up against them. Mr.. Beecher and the
majority of Congregational ministers did not
agree on certain questions. and those of us who
opposed the resolutions felt that if passed they
would place us before the public in the light oil
sympathizers with Beechers views. If neces
sary. will make public at a future time all my
reasons for opposing the message but cannot
tell now. l know too much. and many facts
have into my family. Mr.. Beechers
brother is member Of my church"
Professor Wilcox favored the resolutions, ani
said: II was deeply chagrined and mortified by

His Personal Appearance and Habits-H:s In
difference in Money Matters.
New York Tribune.
In personal appearance, Mr.. Beecher was one
of the most striking men about New York. He
was of medium height, with broad shoulders
aud heavy girth stout and feshy, in fact,
that he looked short in inches. His head was
large, though not bullying or irregular. His
forehead was high and his features were strong
and full His color was high, his cheeks and
neck being always full-veined and rudy. His
hair was gray, turning to white in recent years,
and hung in loose locks down on his black coat
collar. His face was always smooth-shaven.
His eyes were OF Il graylsh-blue, full Of fire and
expression in his moments of feeling, ALWAYS
humorous and iuausitive. He never paid great
attention to dress, though far from being an I'M
kempt or sloveny man. He wore dark clothes
usually. and black slouch hat haoitually. He
never could be brought to put on a silk hat or a
''cawhammer" coat wearing a Prince Albert
coat on formal occasions. Even in the pulpit he
substituted turn-down collar and black neck
tie for the more conventional clerical "choker,
and white tie. He was, in fact, unconventional
and Indifferent in most of the smaller details of
life.
MIR. Beecher was for many years a sufferer
from hay-fever. ard spent his summers for a
long time in the White mountains He was a
roted figure at the Twin Mountain House, and
one of thu mountain pools near by, into which
he fell one day. has been known in the guide
books as "Beecher's Pool" In the last few years
the ay-fever seemed to leave him, and he had
spent most Of his summers since 1880 at his
Peeksk;ll country house From his fuilness of
habit and temperament apoplexy has long been
feared by his physicians. But until the stroke
came his general health had been exceptionally
good.
Mr.. Beecher's indifference In dress and other
personal matters extended to his money affairs.
He was undeniably careless about money! and
his generous disposition often got him into tenn
porary financial straits. His salary had been
increased from time to time until it was $50 600
at the time Of the BeecherT iiton trial That
year his congregation voted him $780, 900, out Of

His Influence Upon Free Thought

Mark Twain.
l shall not say anything about Mr.. Beecher's
sermons. They breathe the truest and purest
spirit of religion: they are models of pulpit
tory. and they proofs that the subject which
is nearest to the interests of mankind can be put
to nobler uses than the chloroforfning of congre-
cations. MIR. Beecher has done more than any
other man. perhaps, to inspire religion with the
progressive spirit of the nineteenth century and
make 1t keep step with the march of intellectual
achievement and the general growth of mems
charities and impulses. It is such men as
Beecher that persuade religious communities to
progress to something better than witch burning
when the spirit Of the time progresses from OK
wagons to stage coaches, and by and by to
steam boats, and who persuade such communi-
ties to progress beyond the indorsing of slavery
with their Bibles when the spirit Of the time
progresses to the subordination of the steam
boat to the railroad and the dscarding of pony
expresses for the telegraph. He has done as
much as any man to keep the people from read
ing their Bibles by the interpretations of the
eighteenth century while they are living far
along in the nineteenth. His name will live.
His deeds will honor his memory. He has set
his mark upon his epoch, and years hence. when
the people turn over the bales and bundles of
this generations ideas, they will find III. W.
B." stenciled on good many of them.

A Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is slow
" wasting away on the nightfall of age;
and tie shadow OF the path becomes
deeper and life wears to a close, it is
pleasant to look through the vista of
time upon the sorrows and felicities
of our early years. If we have had a
home to shelter and hearts to rejoice
with MS, and friends have been gather
ed around our freside, the rough
places of way-faring will have been
worn and smoothed away in the twi-
light of life, any dark spots we have
passed through will grow brighter
aud more beautiful, happy indeed, are
those whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the tone Of
their feeling, or broken those musical
chords of the heart whose vibration
are so touching Of life.
